I think it will sell out, and quickly at that. seems that most of the draw will be from one of the 4 groups:

1)umphreaks
2)biscoheads (or whatever ya call yourselves)
3)galactic fans
4)people who arent neccesarily into any of these bands, and just know how much fun it will be as a whole.

Considering your average 4-day festival costs $150, and this one takes you ona cruise to the bahamas starting at $500, the costs are trivial. look at the popularity of sci's international incidents. people arent afraid to throw down to see music in a tropical paradise.

As for insurance, I'm sure whoever owns the boat already has insurance, this is no different from any other cruise, other than the fact that it has superior entertainment....

biscuits by a landslide.....................the others are great, but nothing next level.....their show at jazz fest on the boat was the best show i saw on the night schedule. completely off the hinges. and that was the last nite of the festival.....they're in a league of their own............

naysayers beware...you will be picking up leftover streamers from the dock as you wipe a tear from your eye while the jamcruise departs...
every concert/venue you goto has insurance....its called vicarious liability...the cruise line also will make you sign a lilited liability waiver which exempts them from liability..also supplemental insurance will be offered by the cruise/travel agent..this cruise is happening....all the bands listed have been paid 50% deposits and i couldnt imagine what kind of deposit you need to put on a boat..this event probably cost HALF A MILLION dollars to pull off...reading the info..says the have a legal team involved...blues cruise,donnabuffalo,moe...the have had cruises and have some listed right now....search in google for cruises..there are all kinds...including music...(not 12 bands) but have themed cruises based around music..why dont you take that negative vibe some where else
this cruise will rock!yes the price might leave some people in the scence leftout due to cost.. the scamming dirtsurfers swinging drugs or stealing from concert goers cars are probably not going to afford it....22 shows in 4 days this is wicked....

Why should there only be one clencher? Would I pay $500+ to see any one of these bands? Probably not. But I plan on grabbing a spot because I like most all of the bands/djs that are listed. And the other ones that I can't say I like, I've never heard. So I see it as a great way to enjoy a bunch of my favorite bands and get exposed to a couple of new things all while cruising around the caribbean.

By the way......I voted for Galactic, but that's only because they've been my favorite band for a few years now.
